When Love Fades in the Light
Miss Watermelon
After Chester Caldwell loses his vision, I donate my corneas to him without hesitation. He vows that he'll never let me down, yet he delays our wedding time and time again after his true love suddenly returns to the country.
On the day of my birthday, his gift arrives, albeit late. I accept it expectantly only to find that they're two movie tickets. I question him about it, but he answers impatiently, "Who said anything about the blind being unable to watch movies?
"You willingly gave up your vision back then—I didn't force you into anything! Stop thinking you can hold that against me forever!"
His true love makes it sound like she's being charitable. "Sorry, Riley. The movie wasn't to my liking. You can throw the tickets away if you're not going to watch it, either!"
I rip the tickets in half and leave. Later, I hear that Chester goes mad when he can no longer find his bride.
